Everyday Icons / Hiding In Plain Sight (Abu Dhabi)
No.0040 - No.840, al falah street
This building has always given a bit of a retro sci-fi vibe. Its contrasting white concrete and dark green-blue glazing create a clean ‘futuristic’ look, yet the building still incorporates some locally recognizable elements such as the angled corner balconies and the inset ground floor with flared pointed-arched openings.
There’s also the pattern imprinted onto the concrete facade - interestingly, one which can be found in other buildings around the city.
There’s not much information out there about this building. If anyone has any, let me know please!
